CRASH: Russians have changed Wikipedia pages to blame Ukraine for the crash [GETTY]

The social media account, which monitors IP addresses, it emerged that Russian agencies changed a Wikipedia page about the Malaysia Airlines plane crash.

The Boeing 777, which was travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, crashed in eastern Ukraine yesterday, killing all 298 on board.

According to the Malaysia Airlines, 10 Brits, 154 Dutch passengers, 45 Malaysians, 27 Australians, 12 Indonesians, four Germans, four Belgians, three Filipinos and one Canadian were all killed in the crash.

On the page it stated that the plane was shot down using rockets which were "obtained from the Russian Federation".

But earlier today, this was changed to say the plane was shot down by the "Ukrainian military".

The edit was flagged up by Twitter account @RuGovEdits.

It read: "Wikipedia article List of aircraft accidents in civil aviation has been edited by VGTRK."

It is set up to tweet every time a Wikipedia edit is made from an IP address linked to government agencies.

PM: David Cameron says the culprits must be accounted for [GETTY]

“"Wikipedia article List of aircraft accidents in civil aviation has been edited by VGTRK."”

The alert reads

The British government has supported claims that pro-Russian separatists brought down the plane, saying it is "increasingly likely" that they are to blame.

Earlier today, after Prime Minister David Cameron called for the attackers to be "brought to account", Downing Street joined the US by pinpointing Russian-backed fighters as the culprits.

A Downing Street spokesperson said: “While it is too early to be categoric about the cause of the disaster, the growing weight of evidence suggests that MH17 was shot down by a surface to air missile and that this was fired from near Torez, in territory controlled by the separatists.

"This is backed up by claims made by separatist leaders on social media, and later removed, to have shot down an aircraft that they thought belonged to the Ukrainian military.

"On this basis we assess that, without compelling information to the contrary, it is increasingly likely that MH17 was shot down by a separatist missile.”

It is believed the plane was downed intentionally but nothing has been proven until further investigations.

The spokesperson continued: “It is vital that specialist investigators are able to access the crash site as soon as possible to establish the full facts of what happened and to ensure that the victims can be returned to their loved ones as soon as possible.

"This investigation must be swift, transparent and credible."

Six investigators from the UK are said to be arriving in Kiev tomorrow to help with the enquiries.

Mr Cameron referred the disaster as a "absolutely appalling, shocking, horrific incident" this morning while US President Barack Obama was quick to call for "peace" after the "outrageous event".

But Arizona senator John McCain was willing to hold anything back about the situation.

The former Republican Presidential candidate told MSNBC: "If it is the result of either separatist or Russian actions mistakenly believing that this is a Ukrainian warplane.

He added: "I think there's going to be hell to pay and there should be."
